It looks like it's swimming through water. Very organic and elegant. The servos on that thing are butter too, very responsive, and quick. Amazing!

Hey Flip - das ist sensationell! Schaut fantastisch aus! Schon alleine aus dieser Sequenz laesst sich ein "RC Movie Blockbuster" schneiden! ;-) Glückwunsch zur neuen HD Cam!
flip 1 year ago

ich schneide grade, dauert aber noch ein paar Tage.
Ich habe immer noch keine passende Luftschiffmusik gefunden ...
Nowawes 1 year ago

Also ich wuerde "Underwater Love" von Smoke City nehmen - das passt wie die Faust aufs Auge - Du hast die Assoziation zum "Fisch" und ein bisschen die "technische Kühle" zum Luftschiff. Ich suche mir immer zuerst die Musik heraus, wonach ich dann schneide. Gruß Uwe

I have to agree with you. That is the most beautiful airship I have ever seen.

Outstanding! Are the fins controlling its up and down movement? I saw em moving around but couldn't see much direct effect on pitch, but it's clearly able to rise
and descend ok.
flip 1 year ago

The ship is very stable in pitch and roll due to a low centre of gravity. So the small fin forces don't really roll or pitch the ship, but since all its weight is carried by the buoyanncy, even a tiny force is enough to climb or descent.
keyframe lover eljardi 1 year ago

it is controlled remotely? i thought has a sensor for the walls and so on automatically : )

Would be great at burning man... have a bunch of these floating around :)
mewse 10 months ago

You can even make a bunch of them and synchronize them using computer into some sort of dance. Also can use different lighting to make it even more dramatic.
